After two seasons in Hungary, Ennaffati moved to sign for the [[Manchester Phoenix]] of the [[EIHL]] alongside fellow ex-Greenville players [[Scott Fankhouser]] and [[Brian Passmore]]. Ennaffati established himself as a regular player for the Phoenix, but was often criticised by fans for his low work-rate. Ennaffati was part of the notoriously leaky Phoenix defence, often conceding more than five goals in a game. As a result of this, he was not re-signed by Manchester at the end of the season. Ennaffati agreed to continue his European hockey career with Diables Noirs de Tours in the summer of 2008.
